Topic: Android Qorbiter crashing (Read 2469 times)

I have been trying the Android Qorbiter on a cheap tablet:- I installed the application on the tablet (and it downloaded a bunch of extra libs)- I created a new qorbiter orbiter in the web admin- set default room, user and skin in the webadmin- generated the orbiter config file on the core by running the PHP script- downloaded the skins from svn to the core- did a full regen of the orbiter, then a reset of the core- edited the config XML file on the tablet to put my core IP (which is different from default) and device ID- started the qorbiter on the tablet- the qorbiter will show me the main screen of the orbiter with all the buttons.- when I click on the power button or advanced button, a new popup menu comes up with the expected content

BUT when I click on any other button like Audio, Video or even Sleeping Menu, the Qorbiter application closes

Any idea what is wrong, or whether the Qorbiter writes any logs on the tablet that I could look at?

The Android qOrbiter will crash. That is the short answer It is still very much alpha quality and the media browser crash happens a lot.Also note that from my experience, the skin is different when your device is in landscape when starting up, than it is when starting the orbiter in portrait mode. You might get different results depending on which one you use.

br,sambuca

basically, what sambuca said. The Media browser apparently doesnt like Android and ive been spending 12hr+ days trying to figure out why. As soon as I can determine what the issue is, there will be an update.

Need some help debugging? I've been wanting to get my hands a little dirty on some Android stuff.

Dont take this the wrong way, but I really need someone with strong android java / c++ experience to try and help me debug @ this point. If thats you, great

The real fun part is that we are cross-compiling from qt to java... so god only knows whats going on in there!

But like i said, if this is you by all means. Im in irc most of the time except now because i need a break to try and clear my head to take another run at this problem. Also, android seems to be special in that it doesnt like how I construct dynamic images. mac, linux, meego, all work fine. this stupid platform is giving me grey hairs!

Sorry, just bought a house. Packing. Computers aren't down though so I'll get my development environment up and running this weekend for this QOrbiter so that I can test better. I updated my Vizio VTAB1008 and it is much better. Far fewer crashes and the grids display more often than not now. I'll hook up my debugger to it and find out what exactly is crashing out ASAP then I'll send you a report.
